r/crz

*(Please ignore my amp cable im still working on it)*

A couple of weeks ago i installed the K&N intake which i originally wanted to go with the Takeda one but didn’t wanna risk a CEL since ill be moving to a state that does smog. At first just the K&N gave the car a tiny bit more pep not much but noticeable and also noticed my MPG did not change. Car revved a bit freer and added a nice induction sound and it felt a bit more responsive. Beforehand i needed to downshift and put it in Sport to even pass someone. Today i decided to install the Ge8 Fit RB1 manifold and was extremely easy to do surprisingly, while i was in there i decided to change the spark plugs with factory recommended NGK Iridiums and they were definitely due for a change. Off the bat the car started right up and while revving in neutral there’s definitely a bit more induction noise than before. Took it for a spin and didn’t really notice a difference until i really hammered the pedal and felt more torque in the midrange and at higher rpms but it’s too soon to tell if my mpg’s will change. Overall im happy with both upgrades and will leave everything else stock for now.

Found a gas station with REC90 and the Z seems to love it. Wayyyyy better gas mileage and noticed it was the same price as regular here which was strange

Since the CRZs are kinda notorious for letting the 12v battery go under charged I decided to add a volt gauge. I found one on eBay that was blue and just about the exact size of the poverty button. I only had to trim a bit of the back of it to get it to sit flush. Once I get a 3d printer and learn to use CAD software I'll make something that looks more OEM.

Long time lurker and unfortunately planning to part with my crz :( Was curious if there was anyone in either Melbourne or Adelaide who would be interested?

EDIT: 2012 auto model with 220k kms

Quick grocery run leads to elation. There’s a handful of CR-Zs in my town and I always get excited when I see one.

Just picked up a 2012 HPD CRZ. What do y’all think? Just shy of 22k miles.

8.9k 2016 crz EX L

162k miles
well maintained
exterior passenger door handle stopped working but opens from the inside
just wondering if this is a good buy because i really like this car!
lmk thoughts/opinions

Thinking of selling my 2011 6 speed. Door handles have been replaced with metal ones, has no issues at all. AC blows cold, no warning lights on dash, tires are almost brand new. Located in SoCal, not exactly ready to let it go but curious what you guys think I could post it for? Clean title

This trim piece/molding along the top of my windscreen has come loose. Has anyone here replaced theirs? Curious about how easy it is to replace, and if anyone knows a good place to order the part from (I am located in Europe). Any tips or experience appreciated!

Finally got my AC to work properly this crazy summer.

Lesson of the day is the single gauge ac in a can is never accurate.

JUST HIT 200K MILES!

2011 Honda CR-Z EX CVT.

Minimal problems so far honestly. I just had my AC go out... Which is bad for how hot it's been but I have an appointment with my mechanic to fix it on the 7th, just gotta thug it out til then.

I plan on doing spark plugs shortly since I don't know when it was last done and I know it's supposed to be every 100k. I got the car 2 years ago at 180k.

Any other maintenance suggestions for where I'm at?

I recently did oil change, CVT fluid change, coolant change (added some a pillar gauges including a coolant temp so I had to, I plan on making a post about that when it looks s little more professional and less... Home-made lol), I also got new rims and painted my calipers but that's not really maintenance.

I feel like you don't see Zs on these wheels very often, but man they look like they belong on it. Such a huge improvement over the black 16s

Stock suspension

5mm spacers on all 4 corners to clear calipers.

215-45r17 tires

Ride still feels the same as before. The steering feels a tiny bit heavier, but hardly noticeable. Idk about mpg yet.

Well, this happened last night while ordering in the drive-thru at In N Out.
